Free Republic

And don’t forget, even though conservatives are still on a post-election sugar high, the Democrats haven’t gone away. I absolutely guarantee you, they’ll be putting all kinds of pressure — fame, fortune, praise, pop-culture love — on weak-kneed Republicans in 2025. Beginning on Jan. 20, there’s going to be an open casting call for a MAGA traitor. Call him (or her) a Judas, a Brutus, or a Benedict Arnold; the fact remains that the first person to plunge a dagger into the back of Trump will be showered with candy, flowers, and wild, passionate love from the left. And someone...

In the fine bad cattitude tradition of “making everyone angry by weighing in on multiple sides of issues of current calamity,” here comes a whole set of takes on immigration, economy, and culture. Some of it is likely to make many people mad. But let’s remember: not liking a fact does not make it false, and not agreeing with everything that someone says does not invalidate the points they make. This one seems to have really brought the bats down from the rafters, and I’m sure we’ll get a comments section for the ages. But please, can we do two...

At the same time, he also holds a slim lead over President Joe Biden in a tight hypothetical general election race. In the Republican presidential primary race, Trump takes 59 percent of the response, placing him more than 50 points above his nearest competitors. Former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) and Gov.

The G.O.P. contender’s campaign tried to take on Donald Trump’s online army. Now it just wants to end the meme wars. ---------------------------------- In early May, as Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida prepared to run for president, about a dozen right-wing social media influencers gathered at his pollster’s home for cocktails and a poolside buffet. The guests all had large followings or successful podcasts and were already fans of the governor. But Mr. DeSantis’s team wanted to turn them into a battalion of on-message surrogates who could tangle with Donald J. Trump and his supporters online. For some, however, the gathering...

Remember that was the big thing, you’re gonna go after Disney,” began Lindell. “He did nothing, they got everything they wanted, everything — look it up!” “The media is covering up for Ron DeSantis. He is a Trojan Horse, he is the Trojan Horse,” shouted Lindell on the convention center floor....
